I think I need more power....
Currently: Arc Audio Ks300.4 (90x4) powers all the speakers the rear speakers are Elemental Designs EU700, they give me enough bass, I have one in each stock location fronts are: CDT, EF6, CL4 and TW24 using the CDT ES/HD300 3-way crossovers. TW24 and CL4 are in the stock location, EF6 is in the door. the 2 in the OEM spot are sort of aimed up towards the driver.. as much as I could. these set-up worked decently in the 89 I had.. (with the 91) interior. but the sound in this car was not the same.. turns out I am not powering the 3 ways enough, I disconnected the rears and bridged the amp for the front.. Big improvement, I did switch it back as I have no low end that way. so I need to decide if I should sell the Arc and find a bigger 4 channel or buy a second amp.. if I do 2 amps, do to them being displayed I would like them to match. Or give up and go back to stock.. LOL I have an Elemental Designs Nine.2 in the house (my 89 had 2 Nine.2x amps) so I could find another Nine.2 or a Nine.4 and they would match (nine.4 would be if I decide to go active and a 2 way) find another ks 300.4 or 300.2 ( but they are a bit more $$) but nice amps Dunno what to do or what would be the best |

I agree, as I read your post, the first thing that hit me was that 90w wasn't going to be enough to feed the 3-ways properly.
I would get a matching amp, then use one channel, bridged, to each side and do the same for the subs. Done is done. |

yeah eihter the KS300.2 or 300.4 would work
Arc lists the 300.4 as 350x2 (bridged) @ 4 ohms.. the 300.2 is only 180x2 @ 4 ohms both look the same and are of the same foot print. I also inquired on a Nine.5 (100x4 and 600x1) which would work well too and be one piece.. then sell the Arc. I do like the Arc, need to see if I can get a second one for a reasonable price |

yeah.. I guess 2 amps will be best
Although I just bought a new condenser for the AC (got a parallel flow one) so I have to deal with the stereo as is a bit longer |

Had another thought..
Since the 4" and Tweet are right next to each other, I could ditch the 3 way Passive, run the Tweet and 4" with a 2-way passive on 2 channels of the Arc, then use the other 2 channels for the midbass (EF-6) in the doors. then install my eD NINe.2 and use that for the EU 700 Woofers I have.. and call it a day. I think that could work. I would need to come up with a Bandpass for the EF-6 though |
